| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The homebuilt airplane was destroyed when it impacted terrain during a forced landing following a loss of engine power. The pilot reported that he was performing a simulated approach when the engine stopped about 1/3 down the runway. He reported that the airplane was high and that he continued straight ahead. The landing gear contacted the runway bouncing the airplane into the air. He reported that the airplane did not repond to control inputs, stalled and subsequently impacted the ground. Postaccident examination of the airplane did not reveal any discrepencies with respect to the flight control system or engine. The pilot had no experience in this make and model of ariplane.
Probable Cause: The loss of engine power for an undetermined reason and the misjudged landing flare which resulted in the bounced landing. Additional causes were the improper recovery from the bounced landing and the inadvertent stall. A factor was the pilot's lack of experience in this type airplane.
